Teenager charged nearly £180,000 for Domino’s pizza

Nathaniel Bolwell thought there was something exceptionally nice about his Domino’s pizza, but even he didn’t think it was worth £179,932.32.

That’s how much the fast-food chain charged the 19-year-old for a £17.99 meal.

The Newport teenager was shocked when he realised he was overdrawn by thousands of pounds.

‘I though I was about £400 in credit, but it told me I was massively overdrawn,’ said Nathaniel. ‘I took a print-out of the statement and rang the bank straight away.

‘I knew it was wrong, but was terrified that I might have to pay it off or be put on a credit blacklist.’

He was told that Domino’s staff were given a bank card authorisation code of 3232 which was added to the pizza price by mistake.

Lloyds Bank investigated and the money was repaid two days later.

A spokesperson for Domino’s said: ‘This was immediately flagged by our merchant provider due to the amount and reversal of funds was put in place. Unfortunately the payment was authorised by the customer’s bank.

‘We understand that this has now been completely resolved and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.’
